from a friend and for a friend

Remember this post a while back? My BFF Glynis was inspired by it, and lookie what she made for me!

Isn't it the most precious thing ever? I just looooove the flower petals. They're perfect! Part of the note inside was that she "dropped her feeddogs" for me. Cute!

And then, a friend of mine ( hi Arlene!) recently requested a pincushion and sent me a link to the pattern that was speaking to her. The dahlia! She wanted colors similar to the original, so here's my take on it:

And just because I can, a couple of random shots of other things I've made recently:

Yes, yes, yes! The pincushion hits the spot. Thanks bunches for the perfect pincushion for my quilt pins. It's working wonderfully in my sewing room. Your so creative and talented. I love it over and over whenever I look at it! My Penny, my friend forever.

I cannot believe you immortalized my creation for all the world to c!! You r so freaky sweet! I thank GOD that u find joy n the simplest things and the humblest efforts! And encouraged that Rachel at Stitched in Color recognized the effort it took to drop the feed dogs and then the willpower, humility, and trust it took to actually put it in the mail to you! So blessed to b ur BFF!!
